More freedom than in any other middle eastern country.
Which middle eastern countries subject their citizens to widespread discrimination, including in terms of citizenship, housing, education and health care, the way Israel does to its non-Jewish population?
Quote:That is not a rational argument.
Those are the facts. How can you call that not rational?
Quote:Seems you do not know what democracy is either.
If you claim Israel is a democracy then you are blissfully unaware of not only
the facts on the ground but also
the history:
'When I talked to these people I saw that they took (the Bible) literally. Furthermore, in one of my conversations with Mr. Ben Gurion he made the remark that, "the Bible is our charter." I began to realize that Zionism is a thinly veiled theocracy. The Bible was in their minds when they were talking, but they used modern nationalistic language in order to hide the fact that this was theocratic in nature. They realized that a theocratic society would not appeal to America.
'I might mention here that I have found Zionism very deceitful. There is a double meaning in all the words Zionists use, and [Chaim] Weizmann himself said one time, "Let the British or anyone else talk about Zionism and they can use our terminology, but we know what the meaning of it is. It has one meaning to us, one meaning to the Gentiles." They've always had this double-entendre in everything that they have done. Whenever they use words you have to try to find out what is the context in which they are using these words.'
